Dear Barbara, If you are still out there; My name is Tom Lesh, and I also would appreciate the information you have on Balthasar Loesch. I have no evidence, but the family story says our direct descendent died on the way over to America with his family and that he was from near Worms (Germany). I can only trace my family back to around 1830 when we married into the Schaefer/Huston family from PA. That book says much of our family records are in either Stroudsburg or East Stroudsburg PA. I am currently serving in Korea as an Army Chaplain. Thank you.

I am transcribing the Evergreen Cemetary in Ontario, Malheur Co., Oregon and thought I would post pictures of the Pre-1900 headstones for those interested in having them. This is a very large cemetary, there is a possibility there could be other family members buried here after this time period. If you are interested in them, I can look for them specifically.

I would like to communicate with anyone researching the family of Jonathan Lesh and Rachel Fetterman. I can't find him in the William Lesh book. I understand his father was John Loesch, but trying to understand which Johann or Jacob this is is confusing. My late husband, Lee Lesh was the son of Warren, son of Elmer, son of Jonathan's son Silas. I have a picture of Jonathan and Rachel.

I have just recently begun to research the Lesh family to prove line to Balthazer for DAR. Does anyone know who the children of Jonathan and Rachel were? My husband's family was from the Cooperstown, PA area. His grandfather was Elmer Victor, ggrandfather was Silas and gggrandfather was Jonathan. I know there are family histories. Can anyone tell me how to get one. My husband is deceased and I don't have any connection to the family and live too far away.

Kenneth D. Lesh (1938-2005) Obit

KathleenBurnett — 2005-09-28 01:15:38Z

Kenneth D. Lesh passed away Jan. 26, in his home in Vernal. He was born March 29, 1938 in Sheridan, Wyo. to Fae Clark and Kenneth Boyd Lesh, and was the step-son of Harold E. Atterbury.

Ken attended elementary school, junior high and high school in Sheridan, Wyo., and graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1960.

On November 18, 1967, he married Janet Banks. Ken was a member of the United States Air Force from 1961-1966, and served in the Reserves from 1966-1972. He was a navigator/counter measures officer and a member of the 13th Bomb Squadron. While serving in Vietnam, he received the Air Force medal for meritorious achievement during military flights.

In 1966, he moved to Vernal and worked at Sclumberger Wells Services for a short time. In 1967, he became a civil engineer for the Forest Service, retiring in 1994.

Ken loved the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, skiing and horseback riding were just a few of his favorite pastimes. He was an active horse-show dad, who not only willingly hauled his two daughters to countless shows, but he announced at the shows as well. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, the Vernal Elks Lodge, the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, and the Rising Star Riders saddle club.

He is survived by his wife, Janet; children, Kathy (Jason) Kunz and Heidi (Matt) Iverson; and granddaughter, Thora Elena Iverson. He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Boyd Lesh; mother Fae Clark Lesh Atterbury; and stepfather Harold E. Atterbury.

A memorial service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 31 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, in Vernal under the direction of the Reverend Nina Stasser. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Services were under the direction of Thomson-Blackburn Vernal Mortuary.

NAOMI LESH....wife of Francis "Frank" Alexander Greer

2003-02-24 22:31:30Z

Hi, I'm looking for information on a woman named Naomi LESH.
She was the wife of Francis "Frank" Alexander Greer. They had one child that I know of. Her name was Wanda Caroline Greer. Wanda was born in 1916 in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho and they were living there in 1919 when one of Francis's brother's passed away.

I think that Naomi may have been born June 08, 1888 and died January 28, 1989 in Redding CA. Or at least the Soc. Sec. Death records indicate that there was a woman named Naomi Greer who was born and died on those dates. Her husband, Frank Greer, was born September 02, 1886, in Hedgewood, Sand Creek twp., Norton Co., Kansas. He died on November 23, 1963, in Sacramento, CA.

Does anyone here on the Lesh family board have any information on this girl who was born as Naomi Lesh? Thanks.

According to California Death Records Naomi Greer's full name was NAOMI CAROLINE GREER. She was born on 8 Jun 1888 and she died on 28 Jan 1989. She was born in KANSAS and she died in Redding, SHASTA County, CA. Her mother's maiden name was GLEASON and her father's surname was LESH. So it seems clear that this was indeed the same Naomi Lesh who was married to Francis "Frank" Alexander Greer. Does the fact that her mother's maiden name was Gleason help at all? Or the fact that she was born in Kansas? Thanks.

Re: LESH/HARTER, Preble Co., OH

mjquinn1 — 2004-09-06 03:20:54Z

I don't have much info. John Lesh was born in 1783. He was the son of Anna Marie Moyer (1763-1851) and Jacob Loesch (1756-1820). I had no information about his first wife, except that she and a child died. He and his second wife, Ann Franz, had five children: John H Lesh; Christian Lesh; Mary Lesh Miller; Elizabeth Lesh; and Isaac Lesh, who died young and unmarried.

John's siblings: (1) Anna Lesh (1784-) was married first to Henry Deardorff (ca 1856-), then to Stephen Miller. (2) Jacob Lesh was born on 10 August 1786 in Berks County, PA, and died on 25 August 1863 in Preble Co, OH. In the 1790s, he moved with his parents to Bedford County, VA, then, in 1808, to Lanier Township, in Preble County, OH. He and his wife, Mary Lantis (or Landis), had nine children, who are discussed under the eighth generation. (3) Elizabeth Lesh was born on 26 October 1788 in Preble County, OH, where she died on 29 April 1847. She married Jacob Deardorff (or Dierdorff). Elizabeth died on 29 April 1847 in Lanier Township. (4) Henry Lesh (1791-) and his wife, Susie, had four children: Silas Lesh, Lewis Lesh, Aaron Lesh, and Paul Lesh. (5) George Lesh was born in 1793 and died in 1819. (6) Christina Lesh (1797-1825) married a Mr Miller.

Henry Lesch d. 1807 York Co. PA

jiffydld1 — 2004-09-15 21:55:05Z

Looking for info on Henry Lesch, died Aug. 1807 in Manheim Twp., York Co. PA. I have an abstract of his will, names wife Catherina and (assuming his children) Zacharias, Henry, Elizabeth-mar. to George Leininger, and Catherina-mar. to Henry Sprinkle (Sprenkel).

Believe this family may have come to York Co. from Montgomery Co. PA. Found baptismal records at Trappe church for Zacharias (b. 1767) and Catherina (b. 1774). Parents names given as Heinrich Lesch and Catherina. Also found marriage record for Jan. 1766 in same church for Heinrich, son of Martin and for Cathernia Bliczli, dau. of Martin (believe this surname may be Blickle or Bleckle).

Baptismal record for January 1783 found at Sherman's (St. David's) Union church in Manheim Twp., York Co. PA for Johan Henry, son of Henry and Catherina Lesh.

Have found tax records 1795 and 1801 and also census 1790; this is the only Lesch family in Manheim Twp., York Co. in that time frame.

Trying to determine if this family in York Co. is the same family from Mongtomery Co. Also need to determine if son Johan Henry Lesch is the same Henry Lesch (later spelled Lesh), married to Mary [Unknown], who moved to Stark County, Ohio around 1814 and raised his family there.

Please contact me at jiffydld@aol.com or post a message here to the boards. Thanks!
